Anyone else watching "Starting Over" ?

[Margie J]

It's a program about six women trying to make big changes in their lives. They have two "life coaches" that give them assignments meant to help them make progress towards their goals. I've been watching and am hooked now.

Some of the personalities are wacked though. I actually wanted to interview for a spot on the show. Now I'm kind of glad I didn't. Living with these women would have sent me over the edge and that's not a pretty sight.

What do people think of this show?

I haven't ever heard of it, it sounds interesting though. What channel is it on?

Here's the link to the show

Starting Over

In Boston they broadcast it at 1am in the morning. It's on at more reasonable times in other Cities.

I've been watching it. It's on at noon here. Some of them definitely have some real issues.

I had no idea what this show was when I flipped through it the other night, but I stopped at the part where the woman was breaking into the cemetary to rid herself of her husband's hair. I thought it was a little creepy and very weird. I felt bad for her about the loss of her husband, but she didn't seem all there. I am not sure if this show is what she needs, or just serious therapy. I am not trying to judge her, because I do not know how I would react if in a situation similar to hers, but I am just not sure that the choice of being on national television was the right thing for her.

The woman with the hair is Lori. Yes, I have to agree that being on TV may not be the best thing for her. She has really deep issues and her behavior is very odd. She needs serious grief counseling and I'm not sure she is getting it. Plus, the stress of the other houseguests is not helpful to her.

I've seen the show twice and I think it's kind of neat. I think it's from the same people who do MTV's Real World.

I have a hard time watching it though because I can't stand Nyanza. Talk about someone with issues!!! She's screaming with them and she's always trying to "help" the other ladies.
